Wow thats a nice road I i would kiss it where is it brother love from ASSAM-guwahati

[@parminder711]

As I’m living in Chandigarh is it good to own a interceptor

[@karansinghgahlot]

I don't think RE should update those speedometer

[@dedrabbitart8694]

Hell nahhh! Those are the best part

[@soukatbasyani6497]

Me neither!🤞 Those adds flavour to the classy look!

[@cykablyat8935]

Missing the halogen as well. They were bad but lovely

[@Yeahbois69]

Tachometer forever!

[@SourabhMainAccount]

but should correct the fuel gauge and bring some more new updates to it with its classy retro look

[@sameerkharade7750]

I purchased the Highness little over a month ago, but I test drove the Interceptor yesterday and I was impressed by the ride quality this motorcycle offers. The vibrations that RE is known for was not the case with this motorcycle and it would be the same with Continental GT too. I am 177cm tall, so the motorcycle felt a bit small for me, but this motorcycle is highly recommended. The bike thar I rode had covered 37,000km and it was not in a great condition, but the gearbox was still surprisingly smooth. Great job, Royal Enfield! Speaking of Highness, it sits in its own league for engine refinement. The Interceptor however is also a worthy consideration. Also, the name 'Interceptor' sounds really incredible to me❤

[@piyushmishra4694]

If it's that good why did u buy the highness

[@sameerkharade7750]

@@piyushmishra4694 because I rode the Interceptor after purchasing the Highness. Had that not been the case, it would have been a tough choice to pick one😂 I'd go for Interceptor probably, because of the excellent ride quality, refinement and low end torque.

[@piyushmishra4694]

@@sameerkharade7750 interceptor is difficult to maintain than highness tho. I have seen user reviews about it being not good for daily use due to weight and mileage.

[@Amory98]

​@@sameerkharade7750 can't compare. Different class of bike in price. Inti is much costlier.

[@Sabyasachi9697]

That's why I like your reviews .... Well researched and to the point... I have been an Interceptor owner from last 2.5 years and trust me what ever he explained in this review is 100% accurate ❤

[@strongguy4543]

Any overheating issue till now?

[@NalinKhurb]

The city clip was a nice touch. Would like to see it for upcoming reviews as well, thanks

[@iamstrell]

Thank you 😊

[@Neil03180]

@strell what’s your opinion on getting the spoke wheels modified to tubeless using the aftermarket kit? The one where an adhesive tape is applied over the rim

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Looks great blacked out.

[@beingsatisfied8200]

Very nice and polished video ❤❤

[@Phoenix-wr6rn]

Waiting for strell more than the bike🥰❤️

[@SaurabhSikdar]

which colour looks best, barcelona blue or this one?

[@Anonymous6969_]

Hey Strell! Please do a review for the Bullet Standard 350 too....

[@ashabhusain]

Love the helmet bro - could you share more details about it? Thanks!

[@akshitdh.8335]

does alloy version wobbles as well ?

[@Bharat_gamer.]

Hey strell waiting for your review on Himalayan 452

[@sivalalm2722]

The main problems in the dark edition models are rust or brownish colour in the exhaust pipe after 1 or 2 years of experience.please find any solutions?

[@kwantanianman1435]

the early model should give option neither tube rims and tubeless ...cause i love the chrome on body but worry about punture tyres...😅

[@susilmartha8328]

THANKS BROTHER....

[@gurucharanchundi]

Can we also expect to see the Dominar 400 once again on the channel? 😁 I know I commented already but asking anyway sorry 😬

[@dhumilparikh9535]

Please do heat test on RE650 also , like you did on Street Rod 750 and RR310

[@Amitx217]

Good insight

[@gurucharanchundi]

Adventure 390 X review? Yes it's the same engine and all without the bells and whistles but would love if you'd make a video on it!!!

[@gurucharanchundi]

Also would like it if you could take a look at the Dominar 400 now since it's been 4 years since you last reviewed it.

[@warmracer2692]

I have my interceptor and I love it and everyone around me loves it tooooo❤

Hii strell machaa... 🥰

[@jijujacob1679]

I enquired in bangalore they said it is 4.05L on road for the new ones

[@krishnamahatre8605]

Why do manufacturers keep on providing sub standard headlights in the name of providing LED Headlights?

[@rounakmukherjee1009]

Nice review as always. Just a point to add for the vid, it would be good if you can replace the word motorcycle with "bike", "one", then the "motorcycle" word would not sound so redundant and repetitive. Just a suggestion.

[@iamstrell]

Great point! Thanks

[@sourabhkulkarni9411]

So which bike will you suggest between ktm390 adventure X and 650 interceptor? The price difference is 50k . I love the looks of 390 adventure and the features + light weight but this blacked out 650 is also looking great now with tubeless tyres and usb etc.....very confusing

[@bhuvantejomayk1634]

Bro is that hosur Highway

[@AndroidHutOfficial]

Which city, kitna waiting?

[@abhijiths4738]

First😌❤️

[@smilemama1820]

Voice is very noicey at start

[@wadadekarg]

Hey @iamstrell I have a question, Is it possible to fit the alloy wheels to an older interceptor or we have to go for the new ones? Also Are they selling all the colour options in alloy wheels or just 2

[@SyedAmaank-po5xl]

You can also get alloy wheels for the other interceptor and gt variants.

[@warmracer2692]

Don't believe this review just take test ride and u will love it and power will take ur breath away ❤

[@prks1982]

would you recommend, exchanging my old 2019 RE Interceptor with the new one make sense, I have only cloaked mine to 17k km to date, or would you recommend upgrading the parts, rather than exchanging the system, mine is still in stock.

[@nakulbhaskar2403]

Bro please review bmw g310 rr

[@SamarthRawal]

Amazing, when are we getting 2023 gt review?

[@praks007]

Chrome is any day better under all weather conditions. Black powder coating looks good only for first few months, after that it will only get worse by each year. Not only will the dust show more prominently but it will also get stains that are either difficult to remove or impossible to remove in a few crevices. Remember this, any substance over metal is bound to deteriorate over time, whether it is paint or plastic. And though I don't have the stats, I feel that a powder coated black engine could be generating and storing more heat compared to bare metal.

[@axel3895]

Same goes for Chrome

[@s_mishra21]

Yeah yeah triumph street twin

[@subhojitroy2002]

I've learnt riding bikes with Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 350 . It won't be an issue for me if I buy Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 as my first bike .

[@bhaskarsengupta1216]

Bro I learnt riding a bike in jawa 42 2.1 which is a 300c bike but I am getting interceptor 650 as my first bike. Go for it bro !

[@adityabarman4469]

Can you elaborate on the fuel indicator inaccuracy? I am considering buying it. So is it really a big issue?

[@theunemployedmind]

Apart from the obvious moto magazines and renowned journalists who have their KZbin channels this channel is what I go to for all bike related reviews. I just wish i could filter 90% of those amateur garbage over-enthusiastic ‘oh bhai’ reviewers so i can only see quality content on my feeds.

[@animealpha4795]

Yes you can. My dad is your height and he very comfortably rides the interceptor

@@animealpha4795 thanks!

[@JustBeingAJ]

Great details and unbiased review!

[@rakeshrao7827]

Adventure 390 X or Interceptor 650? , mostly city and and 30% highway use. which is better bang for money?

[@sameerkharade7750]

Adventure would be better due to higher ground clearance, but go rest ride the motorcycles to actually notice the difference.

[@thatonerandomguy9764]

test ride once, on paper for city rides adventure would be better

[@twowheeledparadox]

The BS4/6 390 Duke has ride by wire throttle which is less responsive than the BS3. The Interceptor doesn't need that.

[@MAX-xw8xq]

Bs4/6 engine became calm due to emission restrictions... Ride by wire is superior to carb most of the times... Interceptor low speed fuelling is better than ride by wire controlled triumph 900 cc s

[@twowheeledparadox]

@@MAX-xw8xq Ride by wire may be superior to carburettors but inferior to direct throttle EFI when it comes to instant response. The BS3 390 Duke used to respond instantly to throttle inputs even in the top gear. The Interceptor has smooth low end and overall fueling but at the same time the throttle response feels more precise than that of the BS4 390 Duke. KTM's ride by wire has made low rpm throttle control much smoother and easier but it feels laggy and disconnected in the higher rpm band.

[@MAX-xw8xq]

@@twowheeledparadox thanks for sharing

[@mayankgole10]

Is there a wobbling issue on highway at higher speeds in this bike?

[@shareekkp]

12:03

[@kusamdurgaprasadreddy]

But i like chrome version more

[@chessrider]

I am thinking of buying CB 500 X but it's way more expensive than Super Meteor. What's your opinion. The same money can be used for rides 😂

[@MAX-xw8xq]

Cb 500x is a fantastic machine but not worth 7lakhs plus ... For touring and considering city road conditions you may take interceptor with new upgraded ceat... Super Meteor is not comfortable in city...

[@globetrottersudhakar4607]

Am I the only one who loved the previous version more???

[@thumptales]

Which action cammera u used to film this?

[@moreirasp]

What exhaust model did you install on this Interceptor?

[@cheguaromal]

[@nitinanvekar8927]

Wanted ur advice I am bit confused between ktm adv 390 and interceptor 650. I have delayed my purchase because of the confusion. Just wanted ur expertise advice on this. I am starting my passion of riding and Interceptor is kind of first love which comes with twin engine I like smooth riding not too fast like cruising and enjoying the ride but having enough power when needed. But ktm adv looks like perfect in all sense for touring like seats are perfect and electronic and all so mind is telling ktm and heart interceptor. Kindly wanted ur unbiased advice

[@manuvashist2103]

Same here

[@jpadamadan]

Same here too

[@MAX-xw8xq]

If your touring is related to highway and proper tourist places. Ktm makes sense. Interceptor is not touring friendly or compared with adv. I own inty by the way. It's not that Interceptor can't travel. But with luggage it gets cumbersome due to most of the weight on its front tyre. Less than five feet eignt inches, inty is difficult to handle when pulling out of parking lot.

[@ramanujrao6335]

At 10:48 what is that crossover looking car by the badge i'd guess suzuki

[@biraj8018]

That is the suzuki Fronx

[@DahakaMatthew]

4:27 "Alright we are on highway..." and an Indian uncle casually goes by wrong side, no helmet, AND on cell phone. Brilliant.

[@theroyalgame3667]

Does it have gear indicator??

[@thatonerandomguy9764]

no

[@woody_vlogs]

The addition of tubeless tyres is THE major change according to me. Handling a puncture in this motorcycle is really a pain in the ass. Am damn sure even the existing owners are gonna change to alloys very soon.

For the BS6 version it is 10k km.

[@livinlifeat60mph]

​@@twowheeledparadox that's what re says . I've been a 650 tech since launch , 5000-6000 on fully synthetic is where it's at.

[@twowheeledparadox]

@@livinlifeat60mph I was advised against changing the oil at the second service by the RE workshop and to wait until the third. Of course, I got it changed anyway because of the way I ride and because of the dusty conditions here. Even the owner's manual suggests 10k km interval for oil change. Still, I don't trust any synthetic oil beyond 5k km in my motorcycles.

[@MAX-xw8xq]

​@@twowheeledparadox what @anand Sai is saying is truth. RE oil get muddy after 5-6000 kms. You have to change oil as it losses it's property. But Castrol sports cruiser one is good for 8-9000km. i have ravishing red one.

@@MAX-xw8xq Yes, RE says 10k km but I also think 5k km is a good interval.
